Good Morning,
Thank you for your flexibility over the last several days as the weather has caused a lot of disruption. Please know that tomorrow, January 19th will be a live learning day ONLY if we need to close due to road conditions.
Many of you had great questions concerning our no eLearning days the past two days, so below is some of the rationale behind that decision.
We have had three synchronous days over the course of two weeks.
We thought our kids, parents and teachers could use a break from the computer and enjoy a traditional “snow day”.
We also wanted to ensure that all teachers have the opportunity to be prepared for a synchronous day. Without having been back to the buildings, it was likely difficult to gather all resources or planning materials for the upcoming day.
All policies, procedures, and how to videos are located in Indiana Learning Lab for easy access.

Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating! We will be closed again today, with no elearning. We will add another day to the end of the school year to make up today. Please stay safe and warm until we see you again!
We are starting with a two hour delay this morning. Stay safe and warm, and we'll see you soon!
The temperatures are not warming up today, and we will be closed! There will be no elearning today! We will add a day to the end of the school year! Enjoy the day off, and stay safe if you must go out!
Wind chills continue to be a problem! Tomorrow we will be on a regular 2-hour delay schedule. Teachers will not have a 1 hour delay. School will start 2 hours later than the regular time. For example, Ryan Park usually starts at 7:55, and they will start the day at 9:55 tomorrow. There will be no early drop off like there is on most Wednesdays with a 1 hour delay.
With the school closure tomorrow, our IREAD Night at PL has been postponed to Thurs., 1/18 from 5:30-6:30. If you are now able to attend and haven't RSVP'd, please use the link below. This is an opportunity for all families of 2nd/3rd graders. https://forms.gle/UHXvL72sXF8ih8fJ9
Due to the frigid temperatures, we will be closed tomorrow, January 16. It will be our last self-paced learning day. Assignments will be posted by 9:00, and teachers will be available for questions. Please stay warm and safe!
With all of the weather concerns today, we will use caution and close for our second self paced elearning day today, Friday January 12. Lessons will be posted by 9:00, and teachers will be available for questions. Stay safe out there!
The weather got the best of us! We will be closed today, and it will be our first self paced elearning day! Lessons will be posted by 9:00, and teachers will be available to answer questions as students complete assignments. Stay warm out there!

In a heartwarming display of community spirit and dedication, the students of Mrs. McFerron and Ms. Bromley's classes embarked on their second annual project-based learning donation drive, driven by compassion and a desire to make a difference. This year, their focus turned to the Steuben County Humane Shelter, an organization close to their hearts.
Armed with creativity and enthusiasm, these young changemakers utilized modern tools like Canva to craft compelling flyers and posters. These materials were dispersed throughout the school, capturing attention and spreading awareness about their noble cause.
But it didn't stop there. Determined to amplify their message, the students scripted, performed, directed, and edited a powerful video advocating for their donation drive. Their efforts were a testament to their dedication and teamwork, showcasing their talents while championing a worthy cause.
The initiative was not just about creating awareness—it was about action. Every day, the students diligently collected donations, meticulously graphing the incoming contributions. As the days progressed, their graph filled with the heartwarming evidence of generosity and empathy.
The culmination of their hard work was staggering: a grand total of 71 donations poured in between December 1st and December 22nd. This overwhelming response was a testament to the kindness and generosity prevalent within their school community.
But the impact didn't end with the collection of items. With hearts full of excitement and anticipation, the students journeyed to the Humane Shelter, eager to deliver the donations personally. There, they were greeted by the furry beneficiaries of their project, forming connections and understanding firsthand the impact of their efforts.
To everyone who contributed, whether by donating items or supporting the cause in any way, the students extend their heartfelt gratitude. Your support helped make a tangible difference in the lives of the animals at the Steuben County Humane Shelter.
As these students reflect on their journey, they not only celebrate their accomplishments but also recognize the power of unity, compassion, and dedication in effecting positive change within their community. This annual tradition stands as a testament to what can be achieved when passion meets purpose, and when a group of determined individuals joins forces to create meaningful change.
Mrs. Pennington's first grade class had a great time performing last week for family and friends!
